Saddam Hussein is not a child with a banana in his hand.  He is a man
who has used chemical weapons is developing nuclear weapons, has
killed more than one million people and spent over 100 billion dollars
on war machinery.  He is a man who commands the fourth largest army
in the world with 6 million mines, 10,000 artillery, tank and other
weapons and 800 tactical aircraft.  A man who in his short life has 
killed all his opponents, attacked Iran, attacked Kuwait and promised
the defeat of Israel and the west in general.

Your analogy is somewhat weak.
